I want to send an email by a TYPO3 eID script using a Fluid template file to render the mail body. I could not find a simple way how to initialize a Fuid View outside of the normal MVC Extbase context. All sources I found seemed to be outdated and very complex.
So what is needed to render a fluid template?
Here is a simple function I wrote to render my templates.
/**
* Renders the fluid email template
* @param string $template
* @param array $assign
* @return string
*/
public function renderFluidTemplate($template, Array $assign = array()) {
$templatePath = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName('EXT:myextension/Resources/Private/Templates/' . $template);
$view = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('TYPO3\\CMS\\Fluid\\View\\StandaloneView');
$view->setTemplatePathAndFilename($templatePath);
$view->assignMultiple($assign);
return $view->render();
}
echo renderFluidTemplate('mail.html', array('test' => 'This is a test!'));
And the fluid template in typo3conf/ext/mytemplate/Resources/Private/Templates/mail.html could look like that:
Hello
{test}
With the output
Hello
This is a test!
You Need Layouts and Partials?
/**
* Returns the rendered fluid email template
* @param string $template
* @param array $assign
* @param string $ressourcePath
* @return string
*/
public function renderFluidTemplate($template, Array $assign = array(), $ressourcePath = NULL) {
$ressourcePath = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName($ressourcePath === NULL ? 'EXT:myextension/Resources/Private/' : $ressourcePath);
/* @var $view \TYPO3\CMS\Fluid\View\StandaloneView */
$view = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('TYPO3\\CMS\\Fluid\\View\\StandaloneView');
$view->setLayoutRootPath($ressourcePath . 'Layouts/');
$view->setPartialRootPath($ressourcePath . 'Partials/');
$view->setTemplatePathAndFilename($ressourcePath . 'Templates/' . $template);
$view->assignMultiple($assign);
return $view->render();
}
